216 The Secret of the Veda
seven seers set them moving forward (or upwards towards the
supreme), they found the entire path (goal or field of travel) of
the Truth; knowing those (supreme seats of the Truth) Indra by
the obeisance entered into them,” vīl.au satīr abhi dhīrāatr.ndan,
prācā ahinvan manasā sapta viprāh. ;vi´svām avindan pathyām
r.tasya, prajānann it tā namasāvive´sa. This is, as usual, the great
birth, the great light, the great divine movement of the Truthknowledge
with the finding of the goal and the entry of the gods
and the seers into the supreme planes above. Next we have the
part of Sarama in this work. “When Sarama found the broken

the Angiras. Becoming in our front the form and measure of
each existing thing, he knows all the births, he slays Shushna”;
that is to say, the Divine Mind assumes a form answering to
each existing thing in the world and reveals its true divine image
and meaning and slays the false force that distorts knowledge
and action. “Seeker of the cows, traveller to the seat of heaven,
singing the hymns, he, the Friend, delivers his friends out of
all defect (of right self-expression). With a mind that sought the
Light (the cows) they entered their seats by the illumining words,
making the path towards Immortality (ni gavyatā manasā sedur
arkaih. kr.n. vānāso amr.tatvāya gātum). This is that large seat of
theirs, the Truth by which they took possession of the months
(the ten months of the Dashagwas). Harmonised in vision (or,
